Maximum Length of Report Reached in Report Designer- Bug?

We have reached the maximum length that Report Designer allows - 180 inches.
The problem is that we need to make the report longer. Also - it appears that
the maximum size for a rectangle is 60 inches - this also is too small. Does
anyone know how to report these items to Microsoft Reporting Services
Development as an enhancement request / defect?According to the MS webinar, the page problem has been fixed. The
webinar info has been posted to the WIKI:

details of that bug are related to an error message you get when you
export to Excel. Here is that article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883501
But the problem we are having would not be fixed by Reporting Services
Service Pack 2. Again, the Report Designer tool does not allow you to
create a report larger than 180 inches, and rectangles are limited to
inches. After reviewing the bugs fixed in Reporting Services SP2, none
of the fixes address this issue.
This is a major problem because you cannot create a large report in
Reporting Services!!

interested in the scenario that requires such a long report. Can you design
your report as subreports and combine the subreports together in one large
report?

report to display each section as a bookmark to PDF and subreports do
not exhibit this appearance after conversion to PDF. In other words,
create a rectangle in report designer, then export to pdf and you will
notice that the rectangle will appear as a navigation tab on the left
within Acrobat reader. We have reached the limit of 160 inches and we
need to add more tabs to the report.
Regardless of whether the workaround you suggest is valid, the point is
that there should be no limit to the length of a report. That should be
up to the developer.
